concept
description: Reconstruction of individual animal movement and habitat use, moving from past and present trajectories toward anticipating future change, by relating biologging sensor measurements to Earth-science observations of the ocean (satellite-derived products, in-situ measurements, and ocean model outputs).

context
description: Open, reproducible and collaborative biologging analysis that brings animal-movement data together with ocean observations and models — developed within the GFTS (Global Fish Tracking System) use case of the Destination Earth (DestinE) programme — to support decisions for sustainable ocean management and the conservation of marine life under climate change.

population
description: Marine animals carrying biologging tags (archival / data-storage tags and satellite tags) — including fish such as sea bass, pollack, salmon, eel and tuna, and other taxa such as sharks, turtles and squid — across multiple tagging systems and ocean regions.

Open reconstruction and anticipation of marine animal movement from biologging and Earth-science data
type: PccReviewQuestion
description: Marine animals cannot be tracked directly underwater, so their positions and habitat use must be inferred from the sensor records carried on biologging tags together with reference observations of the ocean. As biologging scales across many species and tagging systems, can animal movement be reconstructed — and ultimately projected forward under changing ocean conditions — using methods that are open, reproducible, and reusable across the community, so the results can inform conservation and the sustainable management of marine life? This is the research goal of the GFTS (Global Fish Tracking System) initiative.
